Love the energy here! If anyone wants another set of eyes on their app, dm me on Twitter - send a google doc and I’ll take a look! (Can’t promise I’ll get to all of them, but I’ll try)

I am going to apply; however, your video is clear, concise, and to the point. Best wishes to you and your team !!

Good luck to all the applicants!

The idea is good but YC doesn't want videos with pre planning in their application..they clearly mention it in their instructions for applying. They want you to speak naturally.

Thanks for sharing the video. I'm applying and will submit our application this week before the deadline. For anyone applying, I would recommend reading Paul Graham's guide (logic) on what makes a good application - https://www.ycombinator.com/howt...

With all actuality, I did not apply yet because I am launching my new CRM CJPath

@hungryhelen It is a CRM made by salespeople for salespeople. It does help you increase you conversion rate to the possible max. You can give it a try, it is free.

No not ready yet - applied once before without success so down have any tips :( but we have launched our MVP today on PH - have a look if you have 2 minutes to spare
@boudewijn_bos nice launch! We applied twice before and I know some people who applied 7 times and got in

@timcha yeah the numbers are beyond for getting in - but then again it opens so many doors when done correctly!

Anyone have an estimate (or know) the number of applicants and the acceptance rate for these batches?
@weansard 20,000 per batch, 40k per year. Around 250 companies per batch. Acceptance rate of around 1%. It’s tough!
Sean Ward
@timcha Wow. Honestly surprised. I knew it was competitive but wasnt expecting 40k a year! All the more respect to those that get in.

Best of luck! My co-founder and I got our app in last week 🚀

One can hope for the best! It’s always tough to get it right, but having a product you believe in and being able to clearly communicate on what and why you are doing is a huge step forward.
